Well, Sora has a kind of odd shape to him. His body is stylized while the other Soul Calibur characters are all pretty much "normal" proportions. But who knows, maybe he'll come in. There are already anime characters and stuff, why not throw in a popular character.

Now what I'd like is a Timesplitters character. But thats not gonna happen! Ohhhh or Megaman! Talk about cheap...

Well, I read somewhere that you'll be able to download Darth Vader (or Yoda, etc) later on. So according to that, there would be 3 Star Wars character per system.

Also a little bit of news, you can customize your characters (like in the Tekken games). So other than your own custom create-a-soul character, you can edit the main characters. Clothes can also be purchased on the online stores (some also can be downloaded for free).

Looks like we have screens of characters made with the Create a Soul mode. Looks like you can edit body types this time around.

Thats pretty cool, he'd fit almost perfectly into the setting. Better than a Star Wars character heh.

I don't even know if I'll be getting on the street date, man. I don't even think I'll have a PS3 by then heheh. That really is awesome, though. I'm not jealous about you gettings Souls, early... but there is one thing I am quite jealous of. Being partners with Rocket XL sounds great!

Awesome!

Wha... another new character?

And http://www.soularchive.jp/SC4/character/index.html shows the main bad guy. In 2d form.

I got the game last night its pretty fun.

The character customization is awesome, but the story mode is ver very short ony 5 levels per character.

HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I posted here! Anyway...

The Tower of Lost Souls mode is a nice addition. You fight people with different skill sets (attributes and things like that). There are 60 levels of fighting goodness. Every level also has an unlockable (armor, hat, etc) that you can get by completing a "mission." You are hinted about what the mission actually is, for example, "do not part with your vitality" meant to get a Perfect. That was an easy one, though.

Other than the Tower there is arcade (and an online leaderboard of scores, which is nice) and the regular story. 5 levels each character is kinda minimal, but atleast there is more than one character your fighting per level (cept for 2 of them). There is also a hard mode.

Not to mention the acheivements. I'm not sure if the PS3 game has them, but the 360 has 50. Which of course adds to the replay value, for most people.
